The Provisional Congress. --A number of the members of the Provisional Congress, which meets in Richmond on the 20th inst., have already arrived. Of the South Carolina delegation, Col. W. Percher Miles is attached to the staff of Gen. Beauregard, and is doing duty at Manassas Junction. Hon. James L. Orr, formerly Speaker of the House of Representatives at Washington, is in Richmond, having been appointed in the place of Judge Withers, resigned. Hon. Lawrence M. Keitt has been in our city for several days, and, we understand, proceeds to Fairfax to-day, accompanied by Hon. T. L. Clingman, of North Carolina, hoping to be able to do a little fighting "on their own hook" before the assembling of Congress. Mr. Keitt says he is accustomed to bagging wild turkeys, and thinks there is "some game" in the neighborhood of Fairfax. Hon. John Perkins, of Louisiana, is, we believe, at Petersburg. Col. Francis S. Bartow, of Georgia. is with Gen. Johnston's command at or near

Rapid Preparations Brigadier General Floyd has, within the space of twenty days, enrolled, armed, equipped, and brought to a condition of most creditable discipline, two regiments of men, who will be ready to march in five days from this time. He expects to add yet another regiment. The two now ready, at the camp near Wytheville, are commanded by Cols. A. W. Reynolds and Harry Heth, both accomplished officers, late of the Federal army.--They are both graduates of West Point, and Col. R. was a classmate of General Beauregard's. The regiment itself is said to be composed of a body of men who cannot be surpassed for manly proportions, and all the native qualities of the true soldier. General Floyd has accomplished wonders in bringing together and equipping such a body of men in so brief a space of time. They will soon be on the march, hunting up the rude and brutal foe who is now desecrating the soil of Virginia.

Floyd's Brigade. --This splendid brigade, now fully armed and equipped, will start in a few days for the Kanawha Valley, where their services are much needed. General John B Floyd, the man who has been for a few mouths past a target for vile calumnistors, is in command, and by his remarkable efficiency and energy it is now one of the best disciplined and armed bodies of men in the South. Col. A. W. Reynolds, his 2nd officer in command, is a classmate of Beauregard's, and was considered one of the best officers in the old army. In Wytheville, Va., where the people know Col. Reynolds, the most marked regard is exhibited by the officers and men of the Brigade for him, the utmost confidence being reposed in his abilities to command. With such competent aids as Col. R. and his brother officers, Gen. Floyd cannot fail to accomplish the purpose for which the Brigade was formed.

would find open doors, a bountiful board, and welcome reception, without money and without price, which I found the case everywhere. This was particularly grateful to my feelings, as it was not only kindness shown to one traveling with a soldier, but it indicated that the fires of '76 were burning upon every altar. I met with none who were not willing to give up everything rather than submit to Lincoln. At Manassas, all were in good spirits and prepared and anxious for a fight. Gen. Beauregard is almost worshipped by the soldiers. They believe him to be invincible. The ladies of this community are as patriotic as any. They have not only been sewing for months for the soldiers, but have now formed a society to be kept up during the war, the object of which is to collect every week a wagon load of beds and bedding and delicacies to send the sick soldiers at the adjacent camps. I mention this not only to commend these noble ladies, but that others may follow their example
